The United States and Western Europe entered the negotiations with distinct goals. Going into the negotiations, the United States wanted to use the tough economic sanctions that were imposed against Iran as leverage to prevent Iran from gathering a nuclear weapon. As the negotiations heated up, however, the United States’ goals in the deal were abandoned, and we ended up settling for a deal in which we got practically nothing that we wanted.

 One of the most important goals going into the negotiations for the nuclear deal was having the ability to set up anywhere, anytime, independent inspections of Iranian nuclear facilities. This would ensure that if Iranians were trying to produce nuclear weapons or otherwise breaking the deal, they would be caught. However, in the deal we have, any inspection of nuclear facilities must be announced 24 days before the inspection actually takes place. 24 days. This period is more than enough time for Iran to hide virtually all of their illicit activities. Iran could produce enormous amounts of illegal uranium, and the rest of the world would never even know until it was too late.

 Under the current deal, America got virtually nothing that we wanted, and gave Iran almost everything that they wanted. America didn’t get back the four innocent American hostages that are currently sitting in Iranian prisons. America didn’t get access to unscheduled inspections. Iran is still allowed to produce long-range missiles that could hit the United States. Iran is still allowed to produce nuclear materials. And in exchange for this already lopsided agreement, the United States gives Iran $150 billion by lifting economic sanctions.

 A major talking point of the Obama administration is that if Iran violates the agreement, all of the sanctions will snap back into place, and the deal will end. But the entire point is that we won’t know if Iran is violating the agreement because they have 24 days to cover up whatever they’re doing before we can inspect their facilities. The entire framework of the Iranian deal relies on compliance from the largest sponsor of anti-Western terrorism on the planet, and the level of compliance cannot be confirmed. This is why I fear that this deal is the single greatest threat to world peace in decades.

 Iran is the central bank for terrorist proxies throughout the world. Iran continues to provide billions in weapons and funding to Hamas and Hezbollah, two fanatical anti-Israel groups created with the intent of killing as many innocent Israeli civilians as possible. Since the 1990’s, Iran has been allied with Al Qaeda, funding Al Qaeda training camps and even helped them prepare for their 9/11 attacks on the World Trade Center. Iran provides weapons to the Taliban. Iran provides unwavering financial and weapons support to the Syrian Assad regime, a ruthless dictatorship that kills hundreds of thousands of its own people. This is not a government we can trust. This is a radical, anti-American, anti-Western regime led by barbarians. And they played us for fools.

 Israel was given no seat at the table concerning negotiations that were extremely relevant to them. Israel was treated as second-class in the world of nations, and had no say. Israel’s loud and passionate opposition was flatly ignored by the same countries that claim to be their allies. Iran vows to end the state of Israel, and this deal gives them weapons and money that help them do that. This administration and the countries of Western Europe refused to give Israel the say they deserved. The president that nearly 70% of Jewish voters put their faith in and voted for in 2012 has, to put it bluntly, slapped us in the face.

 After the end of the Holocaust, the world proclaimed “never again.” Just 70 years later, that message seems to have been forgotten.

 And the Jewish community is angry.
